More than half of transgender male teens who participated in the survey reported attempting suicide in their lifetime, while 29.9 percent of transgender female teens said they attempted suicide. Among non-binary youth, 41.8 percent of respondents stated that they had attempted suicide at some point in their lives.

Many transgender young people experience family rejection, bullying and harassment, or feel unsafe for simply being who they are - all of which can be added risk factors for suicide. Earlier this year, HRC released its 2018 LGBTQ Youth Report, which detailed similarly alarming experiences -- but also significant perseverance among LGBTQ young people in the face of daunting challenges.

There are steps that can be taken to help prevent this tragedy.

HRC Foundation’s Welcoming Schools program provides specific guidance to parents, teachers and the wider community for preventing anti-LGBTQ bullying and aggression in schools. This can be as simple as responding appropriately to anti-LGBTQ comments in the classroom, or encouraging educators to promote inclusivity and diversity in their lesson plans.

Parents and families can start by learning the facts and educating themselves about issues that impact LGBTQ youth. Whether or not families have openly LGBTQ children, it is vital to make home a safe and affirming space for all identities.

Masz rację, kiedyś leczono prądem i wycinano część płata czołowego, a takiej fali samobójstw nie było, dziś to już 40% transów i innych pedałów podejmuje próbę samobójczą.

Ta pedofilska partia ma poparcie innych pedofili

dla mnie to nie do pomyślenia aby pedofile chodzili po świecie wolno

dla ciebie osoby która wspiera ideologię LGBTPedo to nic wielkiego

The LGBTQ community does not condone “pedosexuals” and no groups have shared that they do. These claims are false.

A spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, a civil rights organization working to achieve LGBTQ equality, told Reuters via email: “The LGBTQ movement absolutely rejects any suggestion that our community is linked to non-consensual interpersonal behaviors.”

A common iteration of the claim shows a post with a poster that includes the acronyms for LGBT and adds the letter “P” at the end, allegedly standing for “pedosexuals”. The shared post comes from a now-suspended Twitter account called @EqualLuv4All, suspended for violating Twitter’s rules. An archived version of the post, dating to April 1, 2017, can be found ( here , here ). It is unclear if this was posted by the account as an April fool’s joke.
